MMPA 2025-24M Integrated Case Competition

Company comps are companies that are comparable with or peers of the company you are valuing. 

Criteria used to generate a list of comps may include one or more of the following:

• Industry
• Geography (location)
• Revenue
• Market capitalization
• Number of employees

Once you've generated an initial list of comparable companies, you can then define variables - financial multiples, averages, ratios and benchmarks - to further refine this list. 

Both FactSet and Bloomberg will automatically generate a list of comps for you.  Use your judgment and critically evaluate these default lists because:

• Some companies included in these default lists may NOT be relevant;
• Some companies may NOT be included in these lists but SHOULD BE; and
• PRIVATE companies are typically excluded from default comp lists.
